  • Figuring out hull speed for a displacement hulled vessel, such as a sailboat. How to cheat hull speed and go faster.

    Puffin is a 67 foot Dutch steel hulled sailing ketch that I purchased in Italy. My wife and I have lived on PUFFIN for about a year following an extensive refit, and she is home. We are living the dream in Charleston, South Carolina.

      I actually believe a modified old-school method of teaching is faster and more readily learned than wasting time on all this CAD system bullshit !!! … for 1200 years since the Vikings , just looking at the Gokstad longship has helped me understand and learn … ie: the 45 degree angle of the bow , the chine to keel angle , the beam to length ratio and the fact that you don’t need a gel coat to float !!! … hells bells , Chris-Craft and Hacker-Craft runabouts that everyone loves were trial and error experiments before being perfected !!!

    • @sailingpuffin9441
      @sailingpuffin9441  5 років тому +1

      Sean, Thanks for watching! The explanation I gave is only mostly correct; 1.34 x square root of the water line length will get you CLOSE, but it won't fully describe an individual boat's hull speed. Some folk have commented that I left out equations governing the wetted surface at various angles of heel, laminar flow coefficients and other paralyzingly intricate computations. My thought was that the average buyer, like me, wanted a 90 to 95 percent correct estimate that I could do in my head while looking at a boat. Hope you can use the vid to help make your boat purchase choice easier!

    @sailexw6414 5 років тому +1

    This is great. Your explanation of the bow wave was so intuitive. Your right when you say a dirty bottom or bigger keel will create more drag, but I don't think it will reduce your "hull speed". There is a force balance between the power of the engine/sails and the drag from the boat. If you apply more force you can overcome the drag but not the bow wave (aside from vertical lift from sails)

    Great explanation. Nice and to the point without being confusing. Interesting that cavitation detracts from hull speed on displacement hulls but increases hull speed on planning hulls. However I believe that is due to surface tension/resistance of the hull in contact with the water. So interesting to walk through a shipyard and look at all the variations of vessel hulls. My favourite pass time.
